If you want to see Bay Area male grooming at its best, go to the Castro district in San Francisco. I think it’s fair to say that there are a lot of Black men on both sides of the Bay with incredibly stylish facial hair.

This brother’s facial hair captures a certain rugged haphazardness, but in a studied and deliberate way. His knit cap created the effect of  bookish Black Paul Bunyan.
